That's great info Stuart. Seeing those racks in the production process in Colin's flickr account made me want to: a. buy one of the racks b. buy a frameset to fit his rack It wouldn't be the first time I did something backwards like that but I'm seriously scheming. -- You received this

I don't know. I think bolting struts to those crown bosses could also get in the way of your cantilever set up. Depends on the individual bike of course. My Bombadil has them, and I'm in no particular rush to use them. Maybe if my father and I start making our own racks. He's shopping for a

I've seen Hunqas with and without the forktop mounting bolts. The beautiful orange one that Colin shows does have them, but the Hunqapage on the Riv website doesn't show them.
